I think its a load of Bullsh*t for them to add "hunting" to a "modern" based game. In RDR it made sense to hunt, in a GTA?...No it's totally pointless. I mean it won't stop me from playing it but I'll be damned if I'm going to purposely go out shooting or running into animals when it doesn't progress the story or anything else in the game at all. As long as you can avoid it, or have it as an option then that's ok I guess butor if there is only "1" mission to hunt then I guess I'd have to get it over with. But after that I won't have anything to do with it. To me it just makes no sense, just like rl. There is no reason for it.UNLESS I'm being attacked and get pissed off like in RDR lol...like attacked over and over then I'd have no choice but to blow them away. But I do find it cool that they'd add animals to the forests etc...I think that's neat and realistic because it was creepy running around the woods in San Andreas all by my self lol...I was like what is wrong with this picture?

hunting doesnt mean that its an activity or mini game. u just can shoot them like peds. so they call it hunting. i doubt people would buy flesh and skins from u that time

Yet murdering countless pedestrians is ok and fits into the modern day scene?

PETA nuts annoy the hell out of me, if you believe that a game where murder is a major feature is wrong then fine, I respect your opinion. However, if you feel that murdering pixelated animals is wrong and somehow worse than murdering pixelated humans, which is perfectly fine to you, then your therapist has a lot to answer for

I'm all for animal rights, but I'm totally going to go hunting. I'm also planning on jumping into peoples yards and murdering their dogs to see their reaction

I don't know about you guys, but I plan to do some "Hunting" with my car once I get in game.

Oh. Yea. I look forward to this so much. I think the first thing I'll do when I get the game will be running over as many animals as possible until I die or get bored (probably the former). It's going to be so great!

On the game informer article, it says that Trevor's dive was interrupted by a Great White Shark. Of course, could be that they confused the bull shark for a great white since, well, they're game journalists and not marine biologist.

It's on the first sentence of the last paragraph of the The Bender And The Wet Suit section.

Well, yeah... I am no Marine Biologist, but since the great white sharks have a more pointier nose, I think Okin could be correct... so we will just leave it at Bull Shark until further confirmation.

Mountain lions and deers have been confirmed. I think it was CVG that confirmed it.

Yeah, I added them before the topic was published, but thanks for the comment

QUOTE (iNero @ Saturday, May 4 2013, 00:48)

CVG mentioned flies in their Video:

@45:43

its actually an insect but as u also listed moths...

Hmmm... I don't plan to include all the insects types in the game, so I'll just leave it as Moth / flies for now... unless we get some seriously detailed insects which I suppose won't happen, though those Moth's are actually pretty detailed for being such small creatures.

I wonder if deer animations will be realistic, or if they'll just go stiff and fall over when you hit them with a car.

If you've played Red Dead Redemption you'll know the animations will be tremendous, the seriously nailed the animations in that game, even animal/farming simulators that focus more on the animals have crappy animations compared to what Rockstar managed to do.

This looks like a small dog, or a coyote:

That is really interesting, I'll see if I can make a gif, and will add it under unidentified animals

“I was driving home late one night and stopped at a red light, and three coyotes walked diagonally across the intersection like they absolutely owned it. It was something I never forgot. It wasn’t just the presence of wild animals in the middle of the city; it was their attitude that this was still their domain, and this layer of civilization was merely temporary.”

"In the city you might stumble across cyclists along the beach, gang members hanging out in their hoods, a security guard patrolling with their guard dog who will react aggressively to you intrusion," Hooker continues. "Whilst out in the countryside you might stumble across mountain bikers flying down a trail with friends, hikers in the hills, deer and coyote roaming the hills or farmers, farmyard workers and barnyard animals around farms."

That's great news, but since they use the word might, if I understand right, they are saying that you'll probably see it... so isn't that just a guess from the previewer? but of course we will see farm animals, so I'm not denying it's true... but is this really a confirmation? I would like to have some more opinions before I add it

"The team is always learning and we're always trying to evolve our approach and we learnt a lot from working with the developers on both L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption," said Phil Hooker, associate technical director at Rockstar North"

The confirmation comes from Phil Hooker, a high level rockstar employee, not the interviewer

Well then, that definitely confirms it! Thanks for the information, I will add it right away

Mentioning how guards will actively patrol with dogs (and how dogs will jump up against fences, as quoted in the first Game Informer reveal), at least indicates that Rockstar has allocated quite a lot of ressources to "non-Chop" dog a.i

Do you or anyone else know what kind of dogs they use on the police force in L.A? Or is the Schäfer that's also a standard here? If so, then I would guess I could add Schäfer's to the list aswell... Since I doubt they will use rottweilers for the police patrols...

As soon as they announced this game i've been hoping for animals and look at the already confirmed animals. oh my!!! Their behaviour and animations were so damn realistic in RDR, i just can't wait to see all this in GTA V. Man...this game is....this game is gonna be game of the forever. Really....i can't even begin to imagine how for how many years after its release we'll still be playing it. Hell..nowadays i still play GTA IV, imagine GTA V. Next-gen? What is that? I don't even need it...i really don't.

As for barnyard animals....we'll see. We all remember the screenshots of the farm and there weren't any animals. But then again, RDR had empty farms too,and other farms DID have animals. So it should be fine. I like what i read about a cop and his guard dog. I also hope we'll see random peds walking their dog....this gameworld is gonna feel so lively.
